I move amendment No. 10:

In page 4, subsection (1), lines 29 and 30, after "payments" to insert "recoverable".

Some arrears of annuities may not be recoverable. For example, the arrears might be statute barred or could have been discharged under section 2 of the Bill. In such cases the arrears should not prevent the giving of a certificate for the purposes of section 5 of the Bill.
